Fluffypants Posted April 29 Report Posted April 29 (edited) HUGE BLOW to Democrats as this was how they snuck extra representives to red states. I forsee a lot of redistricting coming up to dismantle those unconstitutional districts. In other news it looks like the Virginia insane gerrymander plan is going to be smacked down by the Virginia Supreme Court. https://www.12onyourside.com/2026/04/28/virginia-supreme-court-upholds-block-redistricting-certification/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-limits-use-race-redistricting-win-republicans-rcna245856 Edited April 29 by Fluffypants 1 1 Quote
West Posted April 29 Report Posted April 29 Race based redistricting is gonzo. The party of slavery and Jim Crowe howls loudly 1 Quote
gatomontes99 Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 (edited) What it said was that States cannot consider race in drawing the map. The previous use of the voter rights act disproportionately increased the influence of minorities. This ruling hopes to prevent that. It also guarantees that every redistricting will go to court for determination of intent. That will be ok IF the judge is nonpartisan. The ruling could have a serious effect on the house. Republicans might pick up 50 seats. I doubt it goes that high, but it will increase. In related news, the VA Supreme Court will reject the gerrymandering there in a unanimous (most likely) vote.

I saw the questions jidges were asking in Viriginia definately skewed in the favor of rejecting it. 1 Quote

Laura Ingram said likely around 19 seats will flip Republican. 2 Quote

Duh They have the same voting power everyone else has one vote. They aren't being kept from voting. True equality means we don't have certain groups having special rights everyone has the same rights. I don't see the suppression here. Tell me how does this keep black people from voting? Quote

It keeps otherwise qualified black candidates from being elected due to RACISM. Duh Like it has done for hundreds of years. Just admit you don't understand the HISTORY.

About 15% of the nation is black. Are you crying because congress isn't 15% black? Quote
